To me this title feels a bit like ... paving the way paved the way to paving the way... Open source software paved the way to many things, not sure why we subselect this one thing. It is like saying modern agriculture paved the way to the prescription opioid epidemic.. I mean it did, but why do we care about connecting these two things? We can also say romans paving the way paved the way to open source software paving the way to remote software development paving the way to a covid-19 vaccine to pave the way back on location development. Why would we though.
